Craftsmanship

The gesture

The hand does not impose a form. It observes, orients, cuts, polishes and assembles. Each intervention seeks the right balance between mastery and natural character.

    Select

    Choose the presence, the lines and the scale.

  2. 02

    Read & orient

  3. 03

    Cut

    Work wood, stone and mineral with precision.

  4. 04

    Bring out depth without making it uniform.

  5. 05

    Assemble

    Join material, structure, metal and resin.

Cultural reference

The Zafimaniry

The Zafimaniry woodcraft inscribed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage recalls the depth of the Malagasy link between material, architecture and use. MEDUSA proposes a contemporary dialogue with it, without reproducing its codes.
